Students with Gulf certificates
Egyptian students who finished secondary school in the Gulf apply through the equivalent certificates office, with separate seats. The minimum to apply in 2026 was 95% for medicine, 90% for dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy, economics and mass communication, and 85% for engineering and computers. Private and national universities accept lower percentages.
Frequently asked questions
Will this year's cutoffs be the same?
No. Cutoffs change every year with the results and the number of seats, usually by a few marks. Use this as a guide.
How is the percentage calculated?
Your total marks divided by 320 (or 410 in the old system), times 100.
I studied in Saudi Arabia. Do these cutoffs apply to me?
No. Students with equivalent certificates have a separate admission with its own minimums. See the section above.
Last reviewed: October 2026. Official results are on the tanseeq portal of the Ministry of Higher Education. Some lists from 2026 were incomplete, so treat cutoffs as approximate.
